In summer, is it a bug that can disfigure a cryptoptera? It's really important to remember this, and form habits!

Today, #My face was disfigured by cryptoptera#On Weibo hot search.

In the hot search, the face of the blogger.

These days, among the patients admitted to the emergency department of the hospital, there are people who are injured by insect attacks every day.

Among them are patients with centipede stings, ant bites, wasp stings, and cryptoptera dermatitis, among which patients with cryptoptera dermatitis are the most painful.

In fact, in the summer, there are many cryptoptera dermatitis in the hospital.

This is a typical cryptoptera dermatitis I took last year, and above is a cryptoptera dermatitis that I saw in the clinic.

This is a near-healing cryptoptera dermatitis.

The picture above is a facial cryptopteric dermatitis that is about to heal.

So what are cryptoptera? What does it look like?

Cryptoptera

Cryptoptera looking at in zoom in.

Rove beetle is a common name for beetles of the Coleoptera family of Cryptoptera, elytra are extremely short, because their wings hide in the elytra, not easy to detect and get the name, widely distributed all over the world.

The body length of the cryptoptera is about 0.5 to 1.0 cm, and the black head resembles an ant, the chest is orange, the elytra is dark blue, the abdomen is orange, and the terminal is black, which is a characteristic color.

Worldwide, there are more than 20,000 species of cryptoptera, only a fraction of which are poisonous Cryptoptera.

Cryptopteramine is an "amide" produced by the commensal bacteria in the body of Cryptoptera, which can effectively inhibit DNA synthesis and block cell division leading to cell death, which in turn causes Cryptoptera dermatitis.

Human skin exposure to cryptopteroxin will cause skin tingling, redness, swelling, blisters and other symptoms.

However, cryptoptera does not secrete on the body surface of the poisonous cryptoptera, but it is possible to release the cryptoptera when the body is ruptured, so only when the poisonous cryptoptera is killed and the skin is contaminated with the body fluids of the poisonous cryptoptera, will the skin be contaminated with the body fluids of the poisonous Cryptoptera.

Cryptoptera originally did not sting or bite. Cryptoptera sometimes climbs onto human skin, it does not want to bite or harm people, it just treats the human body as a tree and stays for a while.

If we don't kill it, blow a breath, let it go with the wind, send it away, then we won't be harmed either.

A similar situation occurs with other insects.

For the vast majority of insects in the world, we humans are not their food, therefore, insects generally do not actively attack people, only after people hurt them, there will be attacks on people and cause people to be injured.

A bee or wasp stays on human skin, and if it does not mess with it, if it is only gently shaken its clothes, or its body moved, or blown down with the wind, then the bee or wasp will not sting.

However, as long as you use your hand to pat the bee or wasp, after the bee and wasp are photographed, at the moment of dying, you can pierce the poisonous needle into the human skin, resulting in the human hand.

The same is true for ants and centipedes that crawl on people.

Most caterpillars, the venomous hairs on their bodies, can pierce through the pores on our skin and cause dermatitis.

The belly of the caterpillar does not have hairs, so when the caterpillar crawls over the skin of our body, it does not cause us to develop dermatitis.

But when the caterpillar crawls over us, if we subconsciously slap the caterpillar and break the caterpillar, then these poisonous hairs will contact our pores and cause severe dermatitis. The skin was packed, itchy and painful, and uncomfortable.

In summer, we often have insects crawling over our bodies, and people's first reaction is to slap hard like a mosquito, which is the habit of most people.

However, if your skin is crawling with a poisonous cryptoptera, then the skin is stained with the body fluids that flow out after the poisonous cryptoptera is killed, then you will get cryptoptera dermatitis.

Of course, if you hit a bee or wasp, you will also be stung by a bee or wasp, which is just as painful.

The point of this article comes: when there are insects crawling on you, don't pat casually, see what kind of bugs are and confirm that they are mosquitoes to pat.

For unknown insects or unknown insects, the correct thing to do is to blow it away with a breath, or shake your clothes to make it fall off.

This way, you won't get Cryptoptera dermatitis or get stung by bees.

In case, if we accidentally shoot the dead Cryptoptera, the corpse of the bug sticks to the skin, and the skin will immediately appear burning pain, hot, at this time we should immediately find a way to wash the toxin off the surface of human skin.

Attention, wash it off immediately!

If a blister rash appears on the skin, it's too late!

The best way is to rinse the skin contaminated with the body fluids of the dead Cryptoptera with plenty of water, and if there is hand sanitizer or soap or other hand sanitizer, it is better to continue rinsing after use.

Remember not to touch your hands until they have been thoroughly cleaned.

I have seen a young man who did not rinse his hands to urinate, and as a result, the body fluids of the cryptoptera stained Tintin's skin, and Tintin had a bunch of blisters and red spots on Tintin, which hurt for many days.

Wasp stings, centipede stings, and rinses are also washed in this way.

After a mosquito bite, it can also be rinsed in this way.

In fact, any bug bite can rinse the wound on the skin like this.

Above is the most effective way to wound various poisonous insects, rinse with water.

Cryptoptera dermatitis is mainly treated with anti-allergic treatment, and antibiotics may be used if there is a local skin infection.

Cryptopterus dermatitis, which usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to recover, often leaves pigmentation.
